Parents and carers play an important role in their child’s development and at Chase Grammar there are many ways they can get involved with the school. Through detailed reports which are sent home five times each year, parents evenings and regular communication, each pupil’s academic progress and attitude to learning is recorded and analysed enabling individual needs to be identified and addressed in a professional and caring manner.
